Munich (dpa / lby) - The people in Bavaria should still enjoy the last rays of heat, because the cold snap is coming soon. From Wednesday at the latest, thunderstorms and rain will come up in Bavaria. It could also get wet at the beginning of the Wiesn in Munich. "The chances of a dry and warm Oktoberfest opening at the weekend are poor," said a meteorologist from the German Weather Service (DWD) on Monday.
While it can still be 27 degrees on Tuesday in the southern foothills of the Alps, it will probably cool down to 12 to 7 degrees by the end of the week. Wiesn visitors have to dress warmly if they don't want to freeze for the tapping on Saturday: More than 13 degrees are probably hardly possible.
In northern Franconia, one can be happy about the rain, so far in September it has rained very little here, according to the DWD meteorologist. Drought has long been a major problem, especially in Lower Franconia.
In the Alps and on the edge of the Alps, despite showers, some sun can break through at the end of the week. Expect snow above 2000 meters.
